Episode Details

You clone your voice, and out comes a stranger with a vague American accent. It's called accent displacement, and it's not a bug in your recordings — it's baked into the training data. This episode digs into why TTS models flatten accents, whether a "neutral" English accent even exists, and what actually helps: fine-tuning on many speakers of your accent rather than hours of just one. We look at Singlish fine-tuning results, accent embeddings, activation steering, and what the vendors' own documentation admits about cloning Irish English.
